Less than 40 miles north of Des Moines, Nevada — pronounced Ne-VAY-da — enjoys both the tranquility of a small town and the convenience and amenities of a bigger city thanks to the surrounding metro areas. As the county seat of Story County, Nevada is home to an active downtown area full of charming buildings and elegant storefronts. The town center is surrounded by large parks like Harrington Park, 4-H Park, and Kiwanis Park. Restaurants and boutiques set within Nevada’s Historic District give residents a glimpse into the town’s past.
Nevada’s grid layout means that any apartment or home single-family rental has convenient access to both the downtown district and U.S. Highway 30. With the city of Ames to the west, and Des Moines to the south, Nevada is perfectly positioned for those who commute or enjoy heading into the city for fun.
